Pros

Kitchen amenities are good Office location is excellent

Cons

Expectation to do long hours everyday. Employees understand it's part of the business such as month end, but not every day. 50 hour plus weeks are the norm. If an employee leaves on time you feel guilty, it's a terrible environment. I worked in the company for 4 years and the culture has not always been like this, however over the past 18 months the morale has fallen through the floor and virtually everybody was looking to leave. Over 50 employees left in the first 6months of 2017, very experienced employees and now there is a vacuum. Surveys were conducted on employee happiness and an external party was brought in to meet employees in groups to see how they were feeling. The feedback clearly was not listened due to the volume of people that left. People are not rewarded for their hard work and senior management does not reward the better emloyees. Of course the talented employees will look elsewhere.

Dear former employee, The leadership of Citco takes employee feedback seriously (both from former and current employees). The well-being of our employees is a top priority. We have put tools in place to monitor overtime and ensure employees have the ability to balance their work and personal responsibilities. Citco has welcomed a large number of new hires and we are committed to their success by focusing on key retention initiatives. Recently, we completed our first global employee engagement survey in a number of years. At the moment, we are currently reviewing the feedback with a standpoint of enhancing the things that Citco does well, and addressing areas that will enable our employees to be fully engaged and fulfilled. It's unfortunate that Citco was no longer a good fit for you. We wish you success on your future endeavours.

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
